A person called about a change to a stop sign in front of a church in Whitefish. The caller said the change wasn’t properly marked and it has created a hazard. Her call was returned and the reason for the change was explained, according to the Whitefish Police Department, but she didn’t accept it because it was different and dangerous.

Someone called about vehicles parked where they weren’t allowed to be. When an officer checked, he learned it was because the landlord was having gravel poured in the driveway at the house and the vehicles would be moved when the work was done.

Several parked vehicles were stickered with odd/even warnings.

A caller said he thought someone had entered his vehicle Saturday night and stole a backpack that contained his work ID. He was concerned because the ID could be used to get into several places at work. Also noted was a vehicle that had been parked in the driveway, but it wasn’t located.

A realty company said it received an email from someone that wanted help to buy a home. A Realtor replied that she would help, but that reply was followed by another email of an unknown man exposing himself.

Someone reported a truck was partially blocking her driveway and she wondered if it was stolen. She said two men in their 20s jumped out and left on foot “really fast.” When an officer determined who owned the truck, the mother was called and she said she would have her son move the truck.

A man and woman heard that deputies were asking about them when they made another arrest at a motel. They wanted to know why officers were asking about them and if they had any warrants.

A man said when he woke up he discovered his two-tone blue Ford F150 pickup had been stolen. He said he hadn’t left the keys in it. He called back later and said he found a pair of gloves near the scene of the crime and he wanted officers to come pick them up. The man later called to report he had found the truck. It appeared the truck had been dragged away.

A woman said she was bitten by a dog she had never seen before. The dog was a terrier mix and it ran off after it bit her.

A person who runs a place where teens can go to get help with school work and a hot meal said three kids in a vehicle were acting up and had made a vulgar suggestion to her, which terrified her.
